Critical Praise
"Deeply satisfying.... Scott is a skilled portraitist, subtle and generous."
—Judith Dunford, Los Angeles Times
"Joanna Scott is such a fine and subtle writer that even an event as compelling as the firestorm of love and recrimination that erupts around Bo becomes almost incidental in comparison with her passionate exploration of the interior lives of her subjects. So steady and particular is the strong light of her gaze that each character—spurred equally by hope and anger—is brilliantly illuminated."
—The New Yorker
"Joanna Scott's novels are astonishingly beautiful, subtle, profound, and unlike those of any other writer I know."
—Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
